These are newer pictures but I'll try to get new ones tomorrow

Older pictures from last summer I no longer have the ancona ducks in these pictures

One of the 2 duck eggs I hatched last year in the spring which were Indian Runner/Welsh Harlequin then the other one was Indian Runner/Pekin

Hope you like the pictures

awesome - awesome - are they easy to care for? - I have 40 some chickens and I am planning on building a duck house(pen) for them to have all by themselves... If I can raise chickens, I can raise ducks right? I am researching and study and learning all I can right now

Yes they are very easy to care for. I've only raised chickens and just got ducks last year and I've been going back and forth what I'm wanting to do with these ducks....... My plan so far is to get some show quality or breeder quality or whatever and get some bantam sized ducks I love bantam chickens maybe I'll love bantam ducks? I have 60 some chickens and its hard to keep up with how many you have when you get the bug

If you like call ducks you should look at silky ducks feel just like a silky chicken

And I've been told bantam ducks are calmer and nicer and etc than bigger ducks

awwwww!! your black and white are magpie call ducks? if so where did you get them or did you hatch them (if so where did you get eggs?)

I would love to hatch some but I can't find eggs - I may need to wait a month or so, it maybe easier to find them then.
